This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Two years ago, the RCMP launched a criminal investigation into Doug Ford’s Greenbelt Grab.

Two years later, it’s déjà vu — Labour Minister David Piccini admits he personally picked which of his friends got millions from the Skills Development Fund.

🇨🇦Canadians looking south can’t be smug: we’ve got lots of neo-Nazis too.
And they come in all shapes and sizes: just look at the KuKluxKonvoy that was allowed to terrorise our capital city for weeks on end.

Was told today about Indigenous people in Brazil who were desperate to vote against Bolsonaro. There were no polling booths in their villages so they got buses to the city, and when the military blocked their buses many miles from the city they got off and walked there. Fight for your vote, always.

I think Halligan is failing to give all the info. Which is why Comey has said he’s filing a motion to dismiss on abuse of the grand jury process. I’m guessing though.

If you live in a small town you're really fucked cause there's probably only one grocer, or you have to drive for 40 minutes+ each way. If you're really unlucky the grocer will be Loblaws and the pharmacy will be a Shoppers.

We should talk way more about how Canada is basically five banks, five big insurance companies, three telcos, two grocery chains, a handful of big REITs and some mining concerns.

The deeply entrenched power of our corporate overlords is a big reason why Canadian politics & culture is the way it is.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win
